From the explanation

“Get out your red-blue glasses and float next to the International Space Station (ISS), planet Earth’s largest artificial moon. This breathtaking stereo view was constructed from two separate images ( S114-E-7245 , S114-E-7246 ) recorded as the shuttle orbiter Discovery undocked from the ISS on August 6.”
